Carbon monoxide intoxication with a CO-Hb of 30% while smoking waterpipe: a case report
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a significant public health issue and a considerable economic burden in developed countries. While the majority of non-fire-related CO poisonings are attributed to gas heating, there are several other less recognized sources that should be considered in the initial...

description | Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a significant public health issue and a considerable economic burden in developed countries. While the majority of non-fire-related CO poisonings are attributed to gas heating, there are several other less recognized sources that should be considered in the initial differential diagnosis. The patient in this case was a 21-year-old who experienced a brief episode of loss of consciousness and was subsequently admitted to the Emergency department. Upon evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with CO poisoning, which necessitated hyperbaric oxygen therapy to mitigate the effects of this toxic exposure. Despite exhibiting harmful symptoms initially, the patient stated in a phone interview two and a half years post-incident that they have not experienced any enduring effects such as cardiac arrhythmia or concentration deficits. While their understanding of the risks associated with waterpipe smoking has increased, it has not influenced any major changes in their waterpipe smoking habits. |
